Hi Neal,

Interesting thoughts, and the Quote from Ecc. is very fitting, and one I have thought on more in recent years.

I have thought about the same question, and I think for me that it is one of those things that God gave us a propensity to do anyway. For some it competing, for others it is the desire to make things, for others it is to garden, fish, hunt, or some other type of providing for ourselves and others.

But to me, it appears that all of these activities that we love to do, all have to, as you point out, have to be non-critical to our lives.

Regards,

Gandolf
